They have been practicing different sayings like hello in the Cambodian language in anticipation of their trip. As you know they are headed to Cambodia tomorrow and will be there for the next week or so. They have been pretty excited about this trip for awhile now. We want to thank everybody who donated money for the school kids they will be visiting. We had a lot of generous donors and just beat our goal of $150. The money is going to be well spent and we know the kids will be very excited when they get it. The money will go along way in Cambodia and the kids there will be able to use it for many things. The school they will be visiting is located in Battembang, Cambodia. We were told today that there is limited internet access at the school if any. We are hoping to do the Skype video call from the school but if not we have worked it out to do the call with some of the kids from the school at the nearest point with internet access.We are really excited and want to thank our donors and our hosts for making it possible.
It has been a really busy week around here, in a good way. We didn't get as much done on our new videos and on our new pictures as we wanted to. We are still learning how to edit and adjust the videos we take so it takes a little longer to get them on our website than our normal adventure pictures do. We should have our videos with the Congressman and our video book reviews all on the site this weekend. It should be a beautiful weekend here, perfect for catching up.
Which brings up a little side note; Noodles and Sam checked and while the weather should be beautiful here this weekend it is going to be about 90 degrees and raining in Cambodia. They are excited to be there and experience how different our world is but also see how somethings don't change no matter where you are in the world. Things like how there are nice and caring people everywhere; it could be Japan, South Africa, Cambodia or right out your back door. We are learning many things from Noodles and Sam and from all of their adventures. They have helped us learn about what a Congressman does, or how many planets there are or even the name of the South African President. Most of all they have allowed us to connect to people of all ages, colors, borders, languages, religions and brought us together as one. Noodles and Sam have made these far away people and places seem like they weren't so far away; even as if they were right next door. Noodles and Sam's hope is that you will feel the same way and that they will be our ambassadors to the world.
Please let us know if you would like Noodles and Sam to come visit you. It doesn't matter how small your town is; every place is special. In January they will be visiting a town in Wyoming, USA that has an official population of 12 residents. As we mentioned Noodles and Sam will doing another Skype video call from there elementary school near the town they will be visiting. They will also be spending a day with a few of the kids there. They are going to see what life is like for the kids and what they have to do besides school and homework. We are told that before school some of the kids have to get up really early and feed the farm animals even when it is below zero temperatures and all kinds of stuff like that. Noodles and Sam are really looking forward to seeing what life is like for the kids there.
Thank you again for all the great e-mails! We love getting them. We will be sending out our new Noodles and Sam wristbands this weekend to all of the Noodles and Sam fan club members. Send us an e-mail if you would like one and you aren't a fan club member yet.
We would like to say a special hello to our new friends in Maryland, USA, Bali, India and Stockholm, Sweden.
Until next time,
The Adventures of Noodles and Sam team
